If I removed the rm line would this cause any issues it sounds really broken that you static link to this lib. Shared libraries are good. Shared libraries mean that if there's a security hole in one of them, you don't need to replace the entire distribution! (I still remember zlib from a few years ago ;-) esp something as extended attributes sounds like semi-security sensitive so I wonder why Fedora even ships the .a at all... -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
